A customer will be served under this schedule if 70% or more of the annual energy
use on the meter is for agricultural end-uses. Agricultural end-uses consist of:

(a) growing crops;

(b) raising livestock;

(c) pumping water for irrigation of crops; or

(d) other uses which involve production for sale.

Only agricultural end-uses performed prior to the First Sale of the agricultural product
are agricultural end-uses under this criteria, except for the following activities, which
are also agricultural end-uses under this criteria: (a) packing and packaging of the
agricultural products following the First Sale and before any subsequent sale, and
(b) agricultural end-uses by nonprofit cooperatives. Guidelines for interpreting this
applicability statement are set forthwith in Section D of the Rule 1 Definition
Qualification for Agricultural Rates.

None of the above activities may process the agricultural product. Residential
dwelling, office, and retail usage are not agricultural end-uses.

The Rule 1 definition Qualification for Agricultural Rates specifies additional activities
and meters that will also be served on agricultural rates, and guidelines through the
following sections: (B) Other Activities and Meters Also Served on Agricultural Rates,
(C) Specific Applications of the March 2, 2006 Applicability Criteria, and (D) Guidelines
for Applying the Applicability Criteria.

The provisions of Schedule SStandby Service Special Conditions 1 through 6 shall


also apply to customers whose premises are regularly supplied in part (but not in
whole) by electric energy from a nonutility source of supply. These customers will pay
monthly reservation charges as specified under Section 1 of Schedule S, in addition to
all applicable Schedule AG-R charges. Exemptions to standby charges are outlined in
the Standby Applicability Section of this rate schedule.

SPLIT-WEEK TIME-OF-USE AGRICULTURAL POWER

1. APPLICABILITY: Depending upon the end-use of electricity and whether or not a Time-Of-Use
(Contd.) Installation or Time-Of-Use Processing charge applied prior to May 1, 2006, the
customer will be served under one of the rates under Schedule AG-R: Rate A, B, D
or E.

Rates A and D: Applies to single-motor installations with a connected load rated


less than 35 horsepower and to all multi-load installations
aggregating less than 15 horsepower or kilowatts. Rate D
applies to customers who were on Rate D as of May 1, 2006 and
are not billed via SmartMeter. Rate A applies to all other
customers.

Rates B and E: Applies to single-motor installations rated 35 horsepower or


more, to multi-load installations aggregating 15 horsepower or
kilowatts or more, and to overloaded motors. The customer's
end-use is determined to be overloaded when the measured
input to any motor rated 15 horsepower or more is determined by
PG&E to exceed one kilowatt per horsepower of nameplate rated
output. Rate E applies to customers who were on Rate E as of
May 1, 2006 and are not billed via SmartMeter. Rate B applies
to all other customers.

Rate B will apply to those customers whose maximum demand is 200 kW or greater
for three consecutive months and select this schedule upon the initial installation of
the interval data meter, unless the customer was on Rate E as of May 1, 2006 and is
not billed via SmartMeter.

The meters required for this schedule may become obsolete as a result of electric
industry restructuring or other action by the California Public Utilities Commission.
Therefore, any and all risks of paying the required charges and not receiving
commensurate benefit are entirely that of the customer.

Ongoing daily Time-of-Use (TOU) meter charges applicable to customers


taking voluntary TOU service under this rate schedule will no longer be
applied if the customer has a SmartMeter installed.

Transfers Off of Schedule AG-R: After being placed on this schedule due to the
200 kW or greater provisions of this schedule, customers who fail to exceed
199 kilowatts for 12 consecutive months may elect to stay on this schedule or (D)
alternate time-of-use rate schedule. (D)

Peak Day Pricing Default Rates: Peak Day Pricing (PDP) rates provide customers
the opportunity to manage their electric costs by reducing load during high cost
periods or shifting load from high cost periods to lower cost periods. Decision 10-02-
032 ordered that beginning February 1, 2011, eligible large Agricultural customers
default to PDP rates. A customer is eligible for default when 1) it has at least twelve
(12) billing months of hourly usage data available, and 2) it has measured demands
equal to or exceeding 200 kW for three (3) consecutive months during the past 12
months. All eligible customers served on this schedule will be placed on AG-4C PDP
rates unless they opt-out.

REQUIREMENTS: measures and registers the amount of electricity a customer uses. |
|
|
|
Customers with a maximum demand of 200 kW or greater for three consecutive |
months must have an interval data meter that can be read remotely by PG&E, |
except customers that are identified as load research sites. A Meter Data |
Management Agent (MDMA) may also read the customers meter on behalf of the |
customers Energy Service Provider (ESP) if a customer is receiving Direct Access |
Service. |
|
For bundled service customers with a maximum demand of 200 kW or greater for |
three consecutive months, PG&E will provide and install the interval data meter at |
no additional cost to the customer. After the meter is installed, the customer must |
take service on a time-of-use rate schedule. The installation of an interval data |
meter for customers taking service under the provisions of Direct Access is the |
responsibility of the customers Energy Service Provider, or their Agent, and must be |
installed in accordance with Electric Rule 22. |
|
If the customer does not currently qualify for an interval data meter, the customer |
must pay PG&E for the cost of purchasing and installing an interval meter, together |
with applicable Income Tax Component of Contribution (ITCC) charges and the cost |
to operate and maintain the interval meter, and must sign an Interval Meter |
Installation Service Agreement (Form 79-984). |
|
Customers who also request any meter data management services must also sign |
an Interval Meter Data Management Service Agreement (Form 79-985) and must |
have an appropriate interval data meter. (L)

8. CONNECTED Connected load is defined as the sum of the rated capacities (as determined in (L)
LOAD (Rates A accordance with Rule 2) of all equipment that is served through one metering point |
and D): and that may be operated at the same time. When charges are based on connected |
load, in no case will charges be based on less than two horsepower/kilowatts for |
single-phase service, nor less than three horsepower/kilowatts for three-phase service. |
|
The customer's account will be adjusted for permanent connected-load changes that |
take place during the contract year. It is the customer's responsibility to notify PG&E |
of such changes. No adjustment will be made for temporary reduction in connected |
load. If the load is reconnected within 12 months of being disconnected, charges will |
be recalculated and applied retroactively as though no reduction in load had taken |
place. |
|
9. MAXIMUM If the customer is a Rate B or E customer, the maximum demand will be the number of |
DEMAND: kW the customer is using recorded over 15-minute intervals; the highest 15-minute |
average in any month will be the maximum demand for that month. Where the |
customer's use of electricity is intermittent or subject to abnormal fluctuation, a |
5-minute interval may be used. If the customer has any welding machines, the |
diversified resistance welder load, calculated in accordance with Section J of Rule 2, |
will be considered the maximum demand if it exceeds the maximum demand that |
results from averaging the demand over 15-minute intervals. The welder load |
calculation will apply only in the season in which the customer usually uses energy, |
which will be assumed to be the summer season unless otherwise designated. |
|
In billing periods with use in both the summer season and winter season (April/May, |
October/November), the customer's total demand charge shall be calculated on a |
pro rata basis depending upon the demand charge and the number of days in each |
season. The maximum demand used in determining the customer's demand charge |
for each season of the billing period will be: (1) the maximum demand created in each |
season's portion of the billing month as measured by a meter with such capability; or |
(2) the maximum demand for the billing month where the installed meter is incapable |
of measuring time-varying demands. |
|
For customers for whom Schedule SStandby Service Special Conditions 1 through 6 |
apply, standby demand is the portion of a customer's maximum demand in any month |
caused by nonoperation of the customer's alternate source of power, and for which a |
demand charge is paid under the regular service schedule. |
|
If the customer imposes standby demand in any month, then the regular service |
maximum demand charge will be reduced by the applicable reservation capacity |
charge (see Schedule S Special Condition 1). |
|
To qualify for the above reduction in the maximum demand charge, the customer |
must, within 30 days of the regular meter-read date, demonstrate to the satisfaction of |
PG&E the amount of standby demand in any month. This may be done by submitting |
to PG&E a completed Electric Standby Service Log Sheet (Form 79-726). (L)

11. DEFINITION The following defines the three voltage classes of Schedule AG-R rates. Standard Service Voltages
OF SERVICE are listed in Rule 2, Section B.1.
VOLTAGE:
a. Secondary: This is the voltage class if the service voltage is less than 2,400 volts or if the
definitions of primary and transmission do not apply to the service.

b. Primary: This is the voltage class if the customer is served from a single customer substation
or without transformation from PG&Es serving distribution system at one of the standard
primary voltages specified in PG&Es Electric Rule 2, Section B.1.

PG&E retains the right to change its line voltage at any time. Customers receiving voltage discounts
will get reasonable notice of any impending change. They will then have the option of taking service
at the new voltage (and making whatever changes in their systems are necessary) or taking service
without a voltage discount through transformers supplied by PG&E.

12. BILLING: A customers bill is calculated based on the option applicable to the customer.
Bundled Service Customers receive supply and delivery services solely from PG&E. The
customers bill is based on the Total Rates and Conditions set forth in this schedule.
Transitional Bundled Service Customers take transitional bundled service as prescribed in Rules
22.1 and 23.1, or take bundled service prior to the end of the six (6) month advance notice period
required to elect bundled portfolio service as prescribed in Rules 22.1 and 23.1. These customers
shall pay charges for transmission, transmission rate adjustments, reliability services, distribution,
nuclear decommissioning, public purpose programs, New System Generation Charges 1, the
applicable Cost Responsibility Surcharge (CRS) pursuant to Schedule DA CRS or Schedule CCA
CRS, and short-term commodity prices as set forth in Schedule TBCC.
Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Customers purchase energy
from their non-utility provider and continue receiving delivery services from PG&E. Bills are equal to
the sum of charges for transmission, transmission rate adjustments, reliability services, distribution,
public purpose programs, nuclear decommissioning, New System Generation Charges 1, the
franchise fee surcharge, and the applicable CRS. The CRS is equal to the sum of the individual
charges set forth below. Exemptions to the CRS are set forth in Schedules DA CRS and CCA CRS.
